Cairo, 22 October 2023 (dpa/MIA) - The second convoy of desperately needed humanitarian assistance is moving through Egypt's only border crossing with the Gaza Strip, according to images seen on an Egyptian television.

Shipments of medical and food supplies were entering the Rafah border crossing as part of a 17-truck convoy, the Egyptian TV channel al-Qahera news reports.

On Saturday, the first deliveries were provided via Rafah since the war erupted more than two weeks ago between Israel and Hamas, the Islamist group that rules the Gaza Strip.
